Volunteer Recognition
The Straz Center would like to recognize and thank all the volunteers who provide support
through their service both in front and in back of house. Without the countless hours put
in by our ushers, lounge hosts, retail volunteers, offi ce volunteers and Patel Conservatory
volunteers, we could not provide the world class service our patrons have come to expect.
As we celebrate our 2017-18 season, the Straz Center would like to extend an extra special
thank you to those volunteers who have been with us since the fi rst season in 1987-88.
